"Roger and his partner John are a tremendous team! Roger is the painting expert, while John is the carpenter, though they each have varied skills to assist each other. Their skill level was impressive, and Roger's pricing was very fair and affordable. They were on-time every day, and were friendly and courteous._____ I purchased an 8 ft. Harvey vinyl patio door years ago, but it sat in the garage for years. Sight unseen, they unpackaged the door pieces and installed the patio door as if it were second nature to them. The door was shorter and narrower than the old one they removed, but John filled the gaps and finished the trim to make it look like it was a perfect fit!_____ Roger's skill at fixing many seam cracks in the walls & ceiling of our family room was amazing. John was also tasked with installing sills and molding for two windows, which looked perfect after he was finished! Then Roger went to work painting all the trim, some previously stained, and the walls. He primed all the trim before painting them with two coats. He also applied two coats to the walls, blending all rolled sections so no lines were visible. From all angles the walls look excellent!_____ When the work was done they cleaned up after themselves, removed all waste and brought it to the curb for a trash pick-up. Later, a dear friend of ours came over to see the renovated room and was very impressed, saying that she might be calling Roger for some work at her own house. That's saying a lot because she's a stickler for details._____ I can honestly recommend Rogers Top Notch Painting very highly for friendliness, punctuality, quality, affordability and attention to detail. They will definitely be hired to do more work for us in the future!"

"In painting the condo all areas were completed to my satisfaction, however there were gaps in communication between Robert and myself. The paint crew seemed rushed which resulted in some areas not being properly masked off and paint spray remained. I found after their cleanup, plastic and tape remained on some surfaces and fixtures. In dealing with this contractor I would suggest getting each room documented regarding the type of work, type of paint, and cleanup. I received the level of service I paid for."

"I always do my own painting, I've never hired a painter before. But I was putting off doing our master bedroom because it has huge cathedral ceilings and I didn't have the equipment to do those. Used Angie's List and got the name of Franklin Painting and called him for an estimate. Our bedroom is 16 ft x 21 ft - quite large. He gave me an estimate of $200 for the ceiling which I accepted, it came out great! So I got an estimate for the walls ($250) and trim (4 windows, a door, baseboard). He and his wife (a lovely woman, I liked her) came yesterday and did the painting. Again, a fabulous job. Quite impressed! Couldn't beat the price either. Hard-working, neat, arrived on time, did an excellent job. Highly recommended.

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

In most cases, it is not recommended to wallpaper over existing wallpaper, as the success depends on the type of paper already on the wall. While you might be able to cover non-coated wallpaper, you should never apply new wallpaper over a vinyl-coated one, which is more common. Doing so can lead to poor adhesion, resulting in bubbles, imperfections, and peeling. It can also trap moisture, potentially causing hazardous mold growth between the layers.

Even if the existing wallpaper is suitable, experts recommend applying only one new layer. Adding multiple layers (more than two total) can cause significant adhesion problems, leading to warping and bubbling. For the best results, the recommended approach is to remove the old wallpaper and all paste residue before hanging the new paper. If you are unsure about your wallpaper type, consider consulting a professional.

Accent walls can feel out of place or distracting if not well designed. Accent walls that don’t fit in with a room’s style can feel jarring or overpowering. Some accent wall styles can also feel dated, but fortunately, it’s easier to update a single wall than an entire room.

Removing wallpaper can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it’s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it’s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.

Yes, most professionals patch and smooth walls after removal to prepare for new finishes.

You’ll need to wash the walls to remove wallpaper adhesive residue after removal as part of the prep process for painting or rehanging wallpaper. Old adhesive can cause texture issues and prevent paint or wallpaper from adhering properly to the wall’s surface.
